Friendly, Aunt Sally, but nothing special. One bar is totally devoted to sport (watching it, that is), and has loads of completely irrelevant stuff like American football gear stuck all over the walls. Alright.

Jack Russell , Salford Rd / The Link
Morland's Bitter, IPA
Quality of beer : * *
Value for money : * *
Atmosphere : * *
Food : ?
Looks horrendous on the outside, like the pub in Trainspotting, but quaintly redolent of the 70's inside. May well have old boys playing dominoes inside.

Red Lion (Old Marston) , Oxford Rd
Morland's Bitter, Independent IPA, Master Brewer's
Quality of beer : * * *
Value for money : * *

Food : ?
Quiet locals' pub in Old Marston, but better than the Three Horse Shoes or the White Hart.

Quiet locals' pub in Old Marston. However, it's the only time I've ever come across 6X on keg, and it was well dodgy. You just can't do things like that.

Victoria Arms , Mill La
Wadworth's 6X, Henry's IPA, Farmer's Glory; guests

Food : Good
Decor a bit overdone inside, food looks good and beer is ok. Superb garden going down to the Cherwell where you can moor your punt. If you've punted all this way, you deserve a beer.

White Hart (Old Marston) , Oxford Rd
Morrell's Bitter, Varsity
Quality of beer : * * *

Food : ?
Another quiet locals' pub in Old Marston. This one's got lots of oak beams and stone walls and the like, with restaurant attached. It seemed very nice.
